The Highlight of Your Day thread

The Highlight of Your Day thread

I thought it might be nice to have a place to share the highlight of your day (even if it's found in a fleeting moment) 🙂

For me today, the highlight of my day was finishing the most annoying round of crochet in a blanket I have been working on for months. This round has taken me so long and I've found it so frustrating that I didn't think I would ever finish the project. Stitch by (incredibly frustrating) stitch it came together. Super excited to get to change colours and start the next round now!

Looking forward to hearing anyone else's highlights 🙂

The highlight of my day was looking at the clock and realising there are less than three hours left in this day. Just think, if we were only 21 hours into a day on Venus, we would still have another 5811 hours until tomorrow. As it is, there are only three hours left. Happy New Day's Eve everybody.

We've had a few really hot days here and a cool change came through, bringing a big burst of rain with it. I realised I had washing on the line and did the freak out run thing but it was too late.

The highlight of my day today was a moment of stopping and seriously enjoying getting cooled off and soaked (even though the washing was wet too). It reminded me of playing in the rain as a little person and it felt so good 🌈

@Former-Member - I honestly thought of that quote when it happened 😊

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

I am superly duperly and unbelievably struggling at the moment. My body is reacting to the stress by sweating more than I would have thought it was possible for one person to sweat, and thus I've just had my second shower of the day. After my shower, I yet again sprayed about half a can of deodorant over myself. While doing this, I contemplated this puzzle; On the can, it says that the deodorant provides 48 hour anti-perspirant protection. Does this mean that it is marketed especially for people that only shower every second day???

I know, I know, small things really do amuse small minds. But contemplating this puzzle truly is the highlight of my day. It is making me giggle even though I am struggling so very badly. So...does anyone have an answer for me? Given we live in a society where the cultural norm is to shower every day, who is the target market for deodorants purported to work for 48 hours???

@CheerBear @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Former-Member I'm tagging you guys because I so completely trust your wisdom and I just know that you will know the answer.

Ps. Oh and in case you are wondering, yep, it is false advertising. I had my shower about twenty minutes ago and now I am soaked in sweat yet again.

My answer @Phoenix_Rising is probably not going to solve the puzzle that is deodorant marketing as it is to sit and giggle (laugh-cry maybe) with you, sorry! So funny-but-not!

I was thinking of advertising on products only yesterday as I remembered a laugh at your milk containing milk, while I was going over some forum feel good moments for me. Funny timing!

I won't trust deodorant or deodorant advertising people now, just like I do not trust tinned spaghetti after I caught vegetables sneaking in to it 😆

I had to laugh, @Phoenix_Rising because I have wondered the exact same thing! 😁 I have no idea what the answer is though.

(I also laughed at the small things/minds because … super herd. 🐐 Laughing/laugh-crying at the weirdness of the world is definitely one of my more user-friendly coping strategies.)

I’m sorry the muddle is wreaking such havoc. 🙁

Re: The Highlight of Your Day thread

Yep ..... you've worked it out @Phoenix_Rising ...... it's aimed at the actual cultural norm who shower every two days while pretending that they shower every day ...... only it doesn't work ...... it contains a secret ingredient that causes an increase in sweat production ...... so instead of one shower every two days, the gullible purchaser becomes bound to two showers every one day instead.

They are adjusting the actual cultural norm by stealth ...... if they can influence half of the population, then by average, it reduces the cultural norm to one shower every day .....

😂😂🤣

You super made me giggle @Faith-and-Hope @CheerBear and @Former-Member...and then I made myself giggle again. I have edited my post. This is because when I just re-read it, I realised that somehow the spelling checker had turned anti-perspirant into anti anti-perspirant. I am ROFL at this...and also ROFL that none of you pointed it out. I have to say, I super like my aspie brain. You neurotypicals miss out on so many funny things with your lack of attention to detail. Of course, I can't actually function in the world, but at least I can keep myself entertained in my dysfunction.

Oh and by the way, right now @Faith-and-Hope is looking like she is the wisest person around here...although I am eagerly waiting to see what wisdom @Former-Member may have to impart on the subject.
